This bug seems fixed in the precise libcompizconfig package 0.9.7.0~bzr428-0ubuntu3 with the included patch 02_primary_is_ctrl.patch. It adds <Primary> as ControlMask and it generally fixes the problem altogether.
I also did the same thing for compiz-core itself - I think it would be useful to have there too. But I'm not sure if its something that should be added to the compiz-core trunk or just stay as an ubuntu package patch. So I'm including it here as a patch for now. ** Patch added: "Add <Primary> as ControlMask, along with <Control>" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/936840/+attachment/2767273/+files/compiz_primary_key.patch ** Also affects: libcompizconfig Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Project changed: libcompizconfig => compiz-libcompizconfig ** No longer affects: compiz-libcompizconfig ** Changed in: libcompizconfig (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Committed ** Changed in: compiz-core Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936840 Title: <ctrl> key now known as <primary> which breaks keyboard shortcuts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/936840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
